Read the full statement (139 words)

ExacTrac Vero is intended to be used in conjunction with the MHI-TM2000 radiation therapy linear accelerator system manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.

ExacTrac Vero uses the images received from the MHI-TM2000 linear accelerator for analyzing the current patient position and calculating - when applicable - a necessary correction shift. The correction shift is then exported to the MHI-TM2000 linear accelerator.

ExacTrac Vero uses stereoscopic x-ray or cone beam CT registration and optical tracking of infrared reflective markers in order to localize and correct the patient position before and during treatment.

Optionally ExacTrac Vero provides position data for the pan/tilt motion of the TM2000 gantry head to the MHI-TM2000 controller for continuous alignment of the beam orientation with a moving target. The position data is based on target detection via X-ray imaging and IR tracking of external surrogate markers.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
